TV presenter Justin Lee Collins steps up to the oche and aims for the bullseye in a brand new one-off show that follows his attempts to become a professional darts player.

Justin Lee Collins: The Bristol Flyer is a one hour show to be screened on Sky One and Sky One HD, Monday 23rd June at 10pm.

On his new challenge, Justin said: “My quest to find a sport I might actually be good at continues. I’ve got the eye, I’ve got the arm and I’ve got the name. Can the Bristol Flyer make it in the tough world of professional darts? Thanks to Sky One I’m about to find out.”

His natural exuberance soon gets the better of him however and with barely an afternoon of training under his belt, he signs himself up for the Players Championships, to be held in Bristol on June 14th. With the clock ticking, Justin will have his work cut out if he’s to stand a chance against seasoned pros. Joining a local team for match (and beer drinking) practise, Justin picks his pro name – The Bristol Flyer – gets a new red silk shirt to match – and steps up to the oche!
